Also known as zhenjiang vinegar, this rich sauce is used as a braising liquid in Asian cooking and also as a dressing or dipping sauce.

3 slices fresh ginger root, finely chopped
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
Combine the ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, and salt in a blender or food processor. Mix well until blended. Use anywhere you want a more pungent vinegar taste (substitute in equal amounts of vinegar called for in a recipe).
Store leftovers in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
